Ways To Address Piriformis Syndrome

The treatment of Piriformis Syndrome typically involves a combination of conservative measures and medical interventions. The main goal of treatment is to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve the function of the piriformis muscle.

Physical therapy is a fundamental component of managing Piriformis Syndrome. A skilled physical therapist can design an individualized exercise program that focuses on stretching and strengthening the piriformis muscle and other muscles that support the hip and lower back. 

These exercises can help reduce muscle tightness and improve flexibility. Additionally, techniques such as heat or ice therapy, massage, and ultrasound therapy can provide temporary relief from pain and muscle tension.

Now that we’ve explored the treatment options, let’s discuss the possible lifestyle changes that can aid in managing Piriformis Syndrome.
